The case, referred to as the “Port Said Massacre”, was delayed to hear the witnesses.
Previous sentences had been issued against the defendants in absentia.
Another 254 fans had been injured in the violence that erupted after a football match between el-Ahly and Port Said's el Masry football teams.
